Quinic acid (QA) is an abundant natural compound from plant sources which may improve metabolic health. However, little attention has been paid to its effects on pancreatic beta‐cell functions, which contribute to the control of metabolic health by lowering blood glucose. Strategies targeting beta‐cell signal transduction are a new approach for diabetes treatment. This study investigated the efficacy of QA to stimulate beta‐cell function by targeting the basic molecular machinery of metabolism–secretion coupling.
